Babies have been learning to read for more time than we all know of. In the last decade, thousands of oldsters the world over have been teaching their babies to read. It is easy to do and takes very little time. It is important to read to your baby beginning when born. This is a particularly significant most important step in teaching babies to read. If you’d like your baby to simply learn to read, do lots of reading each day.
I am sure you will get many benefits using this technique.
It is important to point at the words as you read them. Even though you might imagine your baby isn’t listening, your baby is recognizing the written word and its patterns. Through continued reading and text pointing, your baby is making associations between the words on the page and the words you are saying.
We cannot expect babies to read words at the font size adults read.
By exposing your baby to language beginning when born, through reading, talking and pointing out words, your baby will be learning to read. Babies that are taught in this fashion can read orally when they begin to speak.
There are instructional videos available that teach babies language. By viewing these videos constantly, your baby will pick up the patterns of language and learn to read.
I started teaching my child to read as an infant. By the time he was twelve months old, he was reading lots of words. By 18 months old he could read full sentences and by 2 years old he was reading little Bear books. What started as a game we played every day developed into a crucial life ability. My son never remembers a point in time when he couldn’t read.

There is nothing wrong with pointing out words as you read, even to your very young children. However, there is proven research that watching TV or videos before age two can cause a variety of problems later in life. Plus, teaching babies to read can overstimulate. Overstimulization has the same effects in the long term as no stimulization. The body shuts down. The baby’s brain is simply not suited to really read.
